Piper PA-22 Super Pacer
Our Piper PA-22 tailwheel-converted bush plane, affectionately dubbed Goldfinch, has the capability of delivering equipment and personnel into areas that most other aircraft can't. With several airframe modifications that enable impressive short-field performance, we are able to support missions at remote, unimproved landing sites. Goldfinch can carry four people and has a flight time of over four hours.
Cessna U206 Stationair
Our Cessna U206 is a workhorse, capable of carrying six people or a large amount of cargo. With long-range fuel tanks providing flight time of over six hours, and equipped for instrument conditions, we can transport people and equipment hundreds of miles to and from distant communities on the North Slope. Seating arrangements can be modified to accommodate building materials or supplies to support a wide variety of missions.
Volunteer Pilots
With our ever-increasing requests to support missionaries across Alaska, we rely on a team of generous volunteer pilots to use their skill and aircraft to help us get the job done. The uniquely demanding Alaskan environment requires a high-level of training and experience from all of our volunteer pilots before they can begin conducting passenger-carrying missions for our organization. If you're a pilot and aircraft owner interested in serving Alaska's missionaries alongside us, please contact us today.
Requests from organizations to support large village ministry events and larger teams in Alaska's remote villages increase consistently. An aircraft with a larger payload and more seats is necessary to continue growing and providing efficient support to Alaska's rural missionaries. A Piper Navajo, Daher Kodiak, Cessna Caravan, Aero Commander or something similar featuring more payload, additional seating, and deicing capability would greatly enhance our ability to continue meeting the need for Alaska's dedicated missionaries.
